Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Page 3

This post is to try to fulfill the prompt “side” which was presented today (Friday) on Linda Hill’s blog: http://lindaghill.wordpress.com/2014/07/18/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-july-1914/ Here it is:

“Give me a side of potatoes.”

“Sorry sir the potatoes re extra.”

“How much extra?”

“One dollar.”

“One dollar. I could go to the market and buy a pound of potatoes for a dollar.”

“Well sir you might just want to do that. I’ll hold your burger order till you get back.”

“I love a burger flipper with an attitude. I want the manager.”

“You and me both. Have you met the manager. What a knockout.”

“Listen kid I don’t have much more time for your stand-up audition. Call me the manager.”

“Okay you are the manager. How may I help you your highness?”

“See this fist. I may just have to come over the counter and give you a knuckle sandwich.”

“That will count as a side and will be a dollar as well.”

“What will count as a side?”

“The sandwich you mentioned. I’m not sure knuckle is on the menu, but all our sandwiches with a burger are extra.”

“Okay who can I talk to?”

“Given your state of agitation I might suggest a psychologist.”

I was sitting around last Saturday minding my own business, settled back, reading my favorite blogs. I came across Linda Hill’s blog and started reading about all the fun bloggers were having with a thing called Stream of Consciousness Saturday. Low and behold (does anyone say that anymore) I found out about the idea of writing whatever comes out of your head and posting it on Saturday. I whined about not having enough time and unfortunately I whined to the wrong person LINDA flipping HILL herself. So here I am shamed into setting aside the time to participate. The prompt this week is emote and this post is part of SoCS:http://lindaghill.wordpress.com/2014/06/27/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-june-2814/ and that was the required pingback. Here is my stream of consciousness.

“Emote you say?”

“Yup. That’s it.”

“What do you mean that’s it?”

“I mean that’s the one.”

“I have to emote?”

“It was truth or dare and you took the dare.”

“But emote? I don’t even know what that means.”

“Tough you know what. You took the dare now emote.”

“Do I take off my clothes for this.”

“Whoa. No. Put that back on.”

“I didn’t want to mess my pants in the emote.”

“That is not what it means.”

“I’ll try again. Do I have to dig a big trench?”

“Big trench? What are you talking about?”

“You know a castle has an emote around it.”

“Man you are really dumb aren’t you?”

“Look here. It is one thing to trick me into this truth or dare stuff. It is quite another to be derisive towards my confusion over what you are asking me to do. I demand that you take it back.”

“You are done. Nice job.”

“Done? What are you talking about?”

“You covered emote perfectly.”

“Now I’m really confused. .. Was it good for you?”
